Brogues is putting on this show at Mono tomorrow. If you're there then why not truck a long for a Tuesday night adventure... I'll hand you over...

One of the truly great guitar pop singles bandsof recent years (check for proof!), The Lodger make a rare trip north ahead of the release of their 3rd lp. Out on April 26th via Slumberland (US) and This Is Fake DIY (UK) 'Flashbacks' is guaranteed to be brimming with pristine melodies and finely crafted songs. If you like your pop pure you know where to be!

Also playing are the catchy as all hell Water Wolves. Rapidly becoming the band of choice to play with the new wave of US DIY pop groups (Box Elders, Real Estate, Hunx and his Punxetc.) with whom they share an approach, Water Wolves brighten their corners with some smashing Go-Betweens-y guitar lines. Ace!

A wee bit of background, etc.

This all kicked off as a print (Xerox) magazine in 1977 and now it's on the interweb. Named after the title track on The Dictators Go Girl Crazy (40 years old in 2015) the purpose has always been to uphold what’s good and pure and right in terms of rock’n’roll and its satellites.

It has nothing, nada, nowt to do with any festival(s) that devalue our namesake so don't send mp3's or anything else with regard to setting course for a career in the music business or anywhere else.

Take a look at what goes on here and if you think your fare fits then drop a line and maybe we can work something out.

I plan to put PDFs of all physical issues up here eventually and in addition, all Rockin’ Bones, Watch This and Fuzzbuzz.Maybe Psychedelic Basement, etc from Sounds too so that everything is in one place. Some of the quality of the source material isn’t terribly good but it’s all I have to work with. It will take some time. The 3 page pilot issue, “NBT 0” from September 1976 never survived as far as I know. Some of the content is a wee bit embarrassing at this juncture but every journey has to start someplace, right?
